Miljöcertifieringar för byggnader, anläggningar och stadsdelar tillämpas i dag i allt större utsträckning för att säkerställa hållbar utveckling i den byggda miljön. Deras främsta syfte är att främja sociala och ekonomiska fördelar samt uppnå minimal negativ påverkan på människa och miljö. Kraven för olika certifieringsnivåer är detaljerade och uppbyggda på tydliga betygssystem. Samtidigt har begrThis study aims to, through a comparative analysis, examine if there are any similarities between environmental certification schemes and the nature-inspired design tool Cradle to Cradle in environmental performance when building residential houses. The analysis shows that two of the four examined certification systems, LEED and BREEAM, have several traits that are similar to C2C. However, these s

According to international law, under the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (CRSR), refugees have the right to seek asylum in the host country they arrive to. However, there are many democratic states today that view it as their privilege to select which refugees who have the right to enter their territory. In order to do research on this subject I will use Norman Fairclough’s critical

Author: Mimmi Dunfjäll Title: Identities, roles and norms – a discourse analysis of gender and sexuality in practical social work with young citizens and families [translated title] Supervisor: Gabriella Scaramuzzino The aim of this study is to examine how normative male and female identities are constructed in social work practice, specifically with young citizens and families, and also to identi

The human motor control is both robust and stable, despite large delays and highly complex motor systems with an abundance of actuators, sensors and degrees of freedom. The cerebellum is thought help accomplish this by compensating for external loads and internal limitations and disturbances through adaptation, creating inverse models of the motor system dynamics. The cerebellum does also exhibit

This thesis is a feminist-critical study of the marital metaphor in Hosea 1-3. My prime interest is the woman and her identity. I ask whether she is a prostitute or married to the prophet. My conclusion is that the text does not strife to tell us her identity, she is merely a prop in the prophets play. Her prostitution is there to shame and to blame other men. These men are the ruling class of Isr

On-site sewage systems is one of the larger contributors of nutrients in Sweden leading to eutrophication. This due to the fact that 40 percent of all on-site sewage systems have deficient purification, and the updating of the sewage systems is going very slowly. The aim of this essay was therefore to study what problems the different municipalities' face in dealing with this problem along wit

In compliance with the environmental objective Non-toxic Environment, the city of Landskrona town and the County Administrative Board of Scania collected and analyzed Cormorant eggs (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) from the island Gråen outside Landskrona for various pollutants. This study aims to investigate whether measured concentrations of mercury (Hg), Zinc (Zn), and Copper (Cu) exceed those fr

Syftet med denna studien var att undersöka hur kommunikation som sägs vara icke-stereotypisk framställer genus och utmanar eller reproducerar traditionella stereotyper i reklam. För att studera detta fenomen valdes det svenska företaget Estrid ut, som säger sig kommunicera till alla människor. Genom att studera detta fenomen har studien bidragit med kunskap kring hur visuell kommunikation kan bådeThis paper aimed to investigate how advertising stereotypes can be challenged or reproduced and how gender is performed, in the context of an allegedly non-stereotypical company. In order to investigate this matter, we conducted a multimodal social semiotic analysis of the Swedish company Estrid, whose razor blades are communicated to all humans. By analyzing various semiotic resources, the paper

The following research paper examines the impact of varying environmental regulation stringency on the landscape of green technological innovation in the maritime industry from 2006-2020. Additionally, the paper explores the potential indirect effect of these innovations, induced by stringency levels, on industry competitiveness. The research is grounded in a theoretical framework primarily drawin

In 1988 Hills proposed that stars can gain velocities above 500 km s−1 if they are in a stellar binary which gets disrupted by a super massive black hole (SMBH). One of the stars would get trapped in an elliptical orbit around the SMBH while the other gets ejected and obtains a relatively high velocity. Normally stars within galaxies have low peculiar velocities but stars ejected with velocities o

The complexities of organizational coordination’s communicative constitution: A qualitative study on coordinators activities in BPO-environments.

How is a concept such as digital inclusion perceived by those who, as professionals, teach the skills which promote digital literacy and information literacy? How do instructors at Swedish public libraries understand their part in a process that is designed to enhance digital inclusion? The aim of my study is to understand how public library instructors perceive issues such as these and to uncover

I rättsvetenskaplig litteratur görs många och skilda uttalanden om bevisfrågor i tvister om tolkning av avtal. Bevisning och avtalstolkning har beskrivits som olika metoder för att avgöra vilket avtalsinnehåll som ska anses gälla mellan avtalets parter. Framförallt föreligger osäkerhet kring när bevisbörderegler och när avtalstolkning ska tillämpas för att lösa en ovisshet om avtalsinnehållet. I tIn Swedish legal literature, many and differing remarks have been made on matters of evidence in disputes concerning the interpretation of contracts. Production and sifting of evidence and contractual interpretation have been described as two different methods in Swedish law for deciding on what a contract should be considered to mean in the contractual relationship. Specifically, there is an unce

Plenty of research has been made on strategic asset allocation, but the focus on foreign market exposure is sparse. This paper analyzes how the investor’s portfolio choice is affected when exposed to four foreign assets, one domestic asset, and the risk free interest rate. Two models are developed using dynamic programming for an investor with iso-elastic utility and lognormal asset returns. The p
